Best of the Main Line & Western Suburbs

Haverford College

Description:

Whether it’s through relationships with local farms or the efforts to reduce the waste created at mealtime, Haverford has taken the lead among its Main Line peers. About a third of the dining services’ food budget goes to locally sourced or produced food, and initiatives are well underway to use biodegradable plates, cups, napkins and takeout containers. Scraps from food preparation are composted, bottled water is nowhere to be found, and even the used cooking oil becomes biodiesel fuel.
